Product Description
Synopsis
John Carpenter has been setting trends and exciting audiences for a quarter of a century. His first two features were a double-whammy virtually unparalleled in modern cinema - the urban re-working of Rio Bravo, Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), followed by the first and defining slasher movie, Halloween (1979). Since then Carpenter has worked with low and big budgets, directed stars and unknowns, and enjoyed commercial success and suffered critical failure. But he has consistently produced a stream of entertaining, unpretentious movies some of which - particularly Escape from New York (1981) and The Thing (1982) - are now regarded as modern classics. In their Pocket Essential to John Carpenter, Michelle le Blanc and Colin Odell examine and rate every film by this prolific director.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and indespensible guide to one of Hollywood's greatest, 20 May 2001
By A Customer
This cheap and cheerful book provides an excellent reference guide to the films of John Carpenter. A very comprehensive guide, this book features information and reviews of all Carpenter's Hollywood films, as well as information on his TV movies and screenplays. It even includes a preview of the upcoming Ghost Of Mars, eagerly awaited by all Carpenter fans. Despite its small size, the book contains a lot of information, and is as enjoyable to read as it is informative. Both authors clearly love John Carpenter films, and this shows in the writing, a nicely personal touch. This book is indespensible for both the die hard fan and casual admirer.
